Again, so what?
Well, I suppose that it is only human to want to be noticed. I cannot know his motives for round two. But if he needs some exmormon attention so be it. However I don't believe that this is the first thread about him on this forum. I do believe that we had one almost a year ago. So, his plan worked. But maybe darkhelmet should have notified us that this bishop resigned a year ago.

He has already spoken out a year ago. Maybe we can expect the same letter every year as an anniversary letter.

We can even make a DVD and distribute it every Christmas season. It will be like Mr. Krueger's Christmas for ex-mormons.

Is it okay for Mormons to repetitively bare their testimony of the truthfulness of the Gospel or do you also deem that to be attention seeking?

Bless his heart. This guy had the integrity to follow his innermost thoughts and resign from a church that he could not (in good conscience) believe in. Good for him!
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

Is he? could be I guess. Me on the other hand I am a witless coward I guess. On the other hand staying LDS is some situations can be tough as well. Is it brave? I think everyone has to make their way in their own way. Course I am just an anonymous hypocritical coward.
